Joining the CND protest at the US airbase of RAF Lakenheath where US nukes are expected to return, chair of Young Labour Jessica Barnard said “It’s a disgusting reality that we condemn 4 million children to living in poverty in our communities while we throw unimaginable money at nuclear weapons”.

It has been recently revealed that US nuclear weapons are expected to return to Britain. In response, CND has called a national protest at the US airbase of RAF Lakenheath on Saturday 21st May.
Some of you unfortunately won't be able to join us, but we would like to carry your voices with us. Please write a short message on the form below. We'll write it on signs and stick it on the fence on the day of the protest!
Here's some ideas :
- Why do you oppose the return of US nukes?
- Why should other people care?
- Why should people support CND today?
London CND vice-president explains: 'We don't need anymore American bombs or any bombs at all in Britain at this time. We should be going completely in reverse not increasing the tensions that there already are. It's really important for people to come on the 21st to show to the rest of the world that Britain is not lying down.'
